C0001331705-ENG LA 390-030 STATEMENT OF JIM MCDONNELL CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF Age: 58 Occupation: Los Angeles County Sheriff Sheriff Jim McDonnell started as a neighborhood police officer and rose through the ranks, rising to second-in command at LAPD and then becoming Chief of Long Beach Police before being elected Los Angeles County Sheriff. He knows first-hand that Sheriff’s deputies must listen to and respect the residents they serve. McDonnell is focused on developing closer relationships between deputies and the community, because improving communication will build trust to create safer neighborhoods. Sheriff McDonnell was elected four years ago after the former Sheriff, who was convicted in a corruption scandal, resigned in disgrace. McDonnell’s top-to-bottom reforms have ushered in a new era of accountability and transparency; he worked with the Supervisors to establish the Civilian Oversight Commission. McDonnell provides public access to data on use-of-force and deputy-involved shootings, and has empowered the Internal Affairs Bureau to investigate misconduct and address problems within the Department. That is why Sheriff Jim McDonnell is supported by a bipartisan coalition including Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, County Supervisors Hilda Solis, Kathryn Barger and Janice Hahn, and former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan. They have seen up-close how McDonnell has worked to reform the Sheriff’s Department, and they know he is the honest, open, and effective law enforcement leader we need.

C0001332005-ENG LA 390-031 IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS OF MEASURE W By Mary C. Wickham, County Counsel Approval of Measure W (“Measure”) would authorize the Los Angeles County Flood Control District (“District”) to levy a special tax (“Tax”) annually on parcels within the District, which encompasses cities and unincorporated areas of the County, beginning with fiscal year 2019-20, and continuing until ended by the voters. The Tax shall be levied at a rate of 2.5 cents per square foot of impermeable area, except as exempted. Impermeable area is area covered by materials or constructed surfaces such as buildings, driveways, concrete, pools and other hardscaped areas. Impermeable area does not include vegetated and other natural permeable areas where water penetrates through the ground. The Measure was placed on the ballot by resolution of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (“Board”), acting also as the governing body of the District on July 17, 2018. If passed, the Tax is estimated to generate $300,000,000 annually. Proceeds from the Tax shall be used to fund projects and programs consistent with the expenditure plan in an ordinance (“Ordinance”) amending the District Code establishing the Los Angeles Region, Safe, Clean Water Program. The Ordinance shall become effective only if the Tax is passed. Projects include, but are not limited to; increasing stormwater capture and reducing urban runoff pollution which may increase water supply; improve water quality; and provide community investment benefits as defined in the Ordinance. An independent Regional Oversight Committee consisting of subject matter experts shall prepare progress reports on whether the goals of the Measure are met, and submit recommendations to the Board. The Board shall cause independent financial audits to be conducted to determine compliance with the terms of the Ordinance. All Tax funds shall be deposited in a special account. The County Auditor-Controller shall file an annual report with the Board stating the amount of funds collected pursuant to the Ordinance. The Auditor-Controller shall place the tax on the secured roll, and the County Treasurer and Tax Collector (“Treasurer”) shall collect the Tax for fiscal year 2019-20 and subsequent fiscal years at the same time, in the same manner, and subject to the same penalties and interest as for ad valorem taxes collected on behalf of the County. All laws and procedures regarding exemptions, due dates, installment payments, corrections, cancellations, refunds, late payments, liens, penalties, and collections for the secured-roll ad valorem property taxes shall apply to the Tax. All property that is otherwise exempt or partially exempt from ad valorem property taxes shall also be exempt from the Tax in such year. Additionally, upon application, low income senior-owned Parcels may be exempt. The District shall establish and administer a Tax appeals process. This Measure requires a two-thirds (2/3) vote for passage.

M00005866ENG-1 LA 390-032 ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE W YES ON W. Water is life. Yet in Los Angeles County, water is scarce and much of it is polluted. MEASURE W creates the Safe, Clean Water Program, a comprehensive action plan to increase local water supplies, clean up contaminated water to protect public health and the environment, and prepare our region for drought. Every year more than 100 billion gallons of rainwater flow down our gutters and out to the ocean. Wasted. Measure W will modernize Los Angeles County’s outdated water infrastructure to capture and save more rainwater, enough for more than 2.5 million people – one quarter of our County’s population. Polluted stormwater exposes our kids and neighborhoods to toxins, results in beach closures after every rainstorm, and makes people sick. Measure W will protect public health by keeping trash, liquid toxins, and infection-causing bacteria out of local waters. Extreme heat and more frequent and severe droughts are the new normal. Measure W will help us prepare for future droughts by capturing more water when it does rain. Thousands of tons of trash––everything from plastics to cigarette butts to syringes––enter our storm drains, flow out to sea, and wash onto our beaches, killing thousands of dolphins, birds, and other marine life. Measure W will protect Los Angeles County rivers, lakes, bays, and beaches by reducing stormwater pollution. Measure W includes strict accountability requirements, including an independent oversight committee and independent annual audits. All revenue will be spent on local projects to improve our local water quality and increase our local water supplies. The time to act is now. Let’s ensure our children and grandchildren have the clean water they need – before the opportunity dries up.

M00005866ENG-3 LA 390-034 REBUTTAL TO ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE W Vote NO on Measure W. Absolutely amazing. The proponents make a lot of unsupported claims and avoid telling you what Measure W really is. A brand new parcel tax to the tune of $300,000,000 a year. That will last FOREVER! On your home and the businesses of LA County. They don’t even tell you how much you will actually have to pay in brand-new taxes. Why are they hiding this information? Or are they afraid to even mention it? And you will be taxed for what? Not one project is listed. Where is the “plan” they claim to have for your money? When will any project be built? Without any information, how can you have any idea what you might get for sending in your hard-earned money? So, not only do you not know how much this brand-new parcel tax will cost you, you have no idea what this permanent tax will accomplish. Just send in more of your money and trust the bureaucrats to spend it wisely? We have heard that before and know it does not work. So don’t be fooled again. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. It is well known we have an affordable housing crisis, a homelessness crisis, over 25% of our people living in poverty, struggling small businesses, and some of the highest tax rates in the country, so this is not the time for another permanent parcel tax. Join community leaders, taxpayers and small businesses -- Vote NO on Measure W. TERESA CASAZZA President & CEO STUART WALDMAN President, VICA BILL LA MARR Executive Director

M00005866ENG-4 LA 390-035 ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE W Stop the Forever Rain Tax. Vote NO on Measure W. The Board of Supervisors wants to raise your taxes, again! HOW MANY TAXES ARE ENOUGH? We already pay the nation’s highest income, sales and gasoline taxes! The politicians added a parcel tax in 2016; are proposing this tax in 2018 and are planning more increases for 2020. When will it stop? This rain tax on your property will add $300,000,000 to local tax bills. They claim it will clean up dirty storm water and generate more water local supply. No one would argue with those goals, but this is not the proposal to get that done. The problem is there are: No projects, No plan, No schedule, No guarantees, and No end to the tax. The politicians are merely saying, “Give us the money and we’ll figure out what to do with it later.” Living and working in Los Angeles County is already out of reach for most residents; homelessness is the highest in the nation, transportation is gridlocked, and the County wants to make it worse by increasing the cost of living and adding yet another forever tax. And this tax is only on private property owners. Major publicly owned sources of pollution won’t pay a dime of this tax; ports and airports are tax-free! It doesn’t just rain on private property. This tax should be the responsibility of every source of pollution, not just the individual homeowners and businesses of Los Angeles County. WE ALREADY PAY FOR CLEAN WATER The politicians are taking advantage of the drought to raise our taxes. But local, state and federal laws already protect our waterways and oceans from climate change, and we pay for water sustainability, storage and conservation. This tax proposal simply isn’t ready.

Yes on W will help the economy by investing in solutions that make local water supplies more reliable, helping our community and local businesses weather the next drought. We can act now and pay a little, or watch the problem get worse and pay a lot more later. Yes on W means cleaner, safer water for our children, families, rivers, lakes, bays, ocean, and marine life.

The Board shall appoint an independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee under Education Code sections 15278 et seq. to ensure that bond proceeds are spent as specified in the Measure and as provided by law. The Board shall deposit bond proceeds in a special account and comply with statutory reporting requirements. Approval of the Measure does not guarantee that projects described in the Measure will be funded beyond local revenues generated by the Measure. District’s proposal for certain projects may assume receipt of matching State funds subject to appropriation by the Legislature or approval of a statewide bond measure. Bonds shall be issued under Education Code section 15264 et seq., Government Code section 53506 et seq., and/or any other legal provision. The interest rate and maturity date on any bond shall not exceed the maximums allowed by law.

M00005862ENG-8 LA 390-063 IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS OF MEASURE M (Continued) District filed the statement, is $30 per $100,000 of assessed valuation in fiscal year 2019-20. The first fiscal year the tax will be levied is estimated to be 2019-20, and the final fiscal year the tax is estimated to be collected is 2053-54. The estimated total debt service required to be repaid if all bonds are issued and sold is $391.5 million, including principal and interest. Estimated tax rates are based on the assessed value of taxable property on official tax rolls, not on a property’s market value. Properties of taxpayers eligible for a property tax exemption, such as the homeowner’s exemption, will be taxed at a lower effective tax rate. This Measure requires a fifty-five percent (55%) vote for passage.

M00005862ENG-9 LA 390-064 ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE M Vote YES on Measure M to repair and update Malibu schools to meet today’s academic and safety standards for our local students. Measure M represents an historic opportunity for us to provide locally-controlled funding that, by law, must be spent only on Malibu schools. Malibu High School is 60 years old, originally built as a middle school, and no longer adequately supports the needs of our middle or high school students. Our elementary schools are more than 70 years old. While some work has been done to remove hazardous materials from our schools, we need Measure M to build new classrooms, completely free of PCBs and other hazardous materials. Older classrooms can’t support current instruction, and all Malibu schools need upgrades to support the 21st century education our students deserve. Measure M will help ensure our students have the skills to succeed in college and careers. Vote YES on Measure M: - Fix leaky roofs causing power outages and replace deteriorating floors, windows and walls - Replace aging plumbing and school restrooms - Improve fire safety and school security systems - Improve and modernize classrooms and science labs to support instruction in math, science and technology - Build classrooms for teaching career and technical skills to help students succeed in high-demand jobs Measure M will improve arts and music education, replace outdated portable classrooms with classrooms that meet today’s standards, and make every school building more accessible for students with disabilities. All Measure M funds stay here in Malibu schools! - Every dollar will be used for Malibu schools, and none of it can be taken away by the state or used for schools outside of Malibu. - Citizens’ oversight committee and annual audits are required. Strong schools are a wise investment to enhance our community and help protect property values.

M00005862ENG-11 LA 390-066 TAX RATE STATEMENT - MEASURE M SANTA MONICA-MALIBU UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT SCHOOL FACILITIES IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 2 (MALIBU SCHOOLS) An election will be held in School Facilities Improvement District No. 2 (Malibu Schools) (the “Improvement District”) of the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (the “District”) on November 6, 2018, to authorize the sale of up to $195 million in bonds to finance school facilities in the Improvement District as described in the measure. If such bonds are authorized and sold, principal and interest on the bonds will be payable only from the proceeds of ad valorem tax levies made upon the taxable property in the Improvement District. The following information is provided in compliance with Sections 9400-9404 of the Elections Code of the State of California. Such information is based upon the best estimates and projections presently available from official sources, upon experience within the Improvement District, and other demonstrable factors. Based upon the foregoing and projections of the Improvement District’s assessed valuation, the following information is provided: 1. The best estimate of the average annual tax rate which would be required to be levied to fund this bond issue over the entire duration of the bond debt service, based on a projection of assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement, is $0.028 per $100 of assessed valuation (or $28 per $100,000 of assessed value). The final fiscal year in which it is anticipated that the tax will be collected is 2053-54. 2. The best estimate of the highest tax rate which would be required to be levied to fund this bond issue, based on a projection of assessed valuations available at the time of filing of this statement, is $0.03 per $100 of assessed valuation (or $30 per $100,000 of assessed value). It is estimated that such rate would be levied starting in fiscal year 2019-20 and following. 3. The best estimate of the total debt service, including the principal and interest, that would be required to be repaid if all the bonds are issued and sold is approximately $391.5 million. Voters should note the estimated tax rate is based on the assessed value (not market value) of taxable property on the County’s official tax rolls. In addition, taxpayers eligible for a property tax exemption, such as the homeowner’s exemption, will be taxed at a lower effective tax rate than described above. Property owners should consult their own property tax bills and tax advisors to determine their property’s assessed value and any applicable tax exemptions.

M00005862ENG-12 LA 390-067 TAX RATE STATEMENT - MEASURE M (Continued) The attention of all voters is directed to the fact that the foregoing information is based upon projections and estimates only, which amounts are not maximum amounts and are not binding upon the District with respect to bonds of the Improvement District. The actual debt service, tax rates and the years in which they will apply may vary from those used to provide the estimates set forth above, due to factors such as variations in the timing of bond sales, the par amount of bonds sold and market interest rates available at the time of each sale, actual assessed valuations over the term of the bonds, and other factors. The date and amount of bonds sold at any given time will be determined by the District based on the need for project funds and other considerations. The actual interest rates at which the bonds will be sold will depend on conditions in the bond market at the time of sale. Actual future assessed valuations will depend upon the amount and value of taxable property within the Improvement District as determined by the County Assessor in the annual assessment and the equalization process.

For the last six years I have served on the Malibu Planning Commission and the Public Works Commission before that. I have a strong record of working hard to retain Malibu’s unique and precious environment and our way of life. As an avid surfer and mountain biker, my lifestyle revolves around appreciating and caring for our city. As a small business entrepreneur and with many years of nonprofit volunteering, I have a deep understanding of how successful organizations work.

As your council representative I will continue to protect Malibu from overdevelopment. I will actively work to fix issues with our codes that have not always protected our city.

C0001395605-ENG LA 390-073 STATEMENT OF LANCE SIMMENS CANDIDATE FOR MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL MALIBU CITY GENERAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION Age: 65 Following a forty-year career in public service, it would be a great honor to serve the citizens in Malibu. It is important that citizens have trust and confidence in the institutions and leaders that shape their community. Today that trust is being severely tested from world capitals to city halls. We must restore civility in our dialogue, comity in our debates, and integrity in our elected officials. The public interest must always trump special interests. We can successfully tackle complex local issues such as homelessness, traffic congestion, land use, development, education, and environmentally sensitive issues that challenge our Malibu way of life. I have served in Federal, State, and local government policy positions that span a wide range of policy issues. In 1993 I established the first Office of Sustainable Development in the Federal government and my career has been governed by an environmental ethic that is resolute and unwavering. I fought fracking at the State government level and developed urban policy for the nation’s cities. I have written two public policy books and published over 700 articles. I will bring this considerable policy expertise and experience to our City Council.

C0001395805-ENG LA 390-074 CITY ATTORNEY’S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS OF MEASURE G Measure G proposes an ordinance that would allow sale of recreational cannabis by two businesses with City permits, would allow these businesses to deliver marijuana and cannabis products, and would impose a 2.5% tax on the gross receipts from their sale of non-medical cannabis. Existing law: Currently, the City allows up to two medical marijuana dispensaries with conditional use permits (CUP). All other commercial cannabis activity is prohibited in the City, including delivery of any cannabis and sale of recreational or “adult use” cannabis. Medical marijuana is not subject to any local tax. Proposed changes: If adopted, Measure G would allow sale of recreational cannabis and cannabis products by two businesses subject to a City-issued permit. Delivery of medical marijuana and recreational cannabis would be allowed in the City but only by these two businesses. A tax of 2.5% would be imposed on the gross receipts of the sale of non-medical cannabis and cannabis products. Effect: The state Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act allows sale of recreational cannabis if such sale is permitted under local law. Cannabis remains a Schedule One controlled substance under federal law, which prohibits the activities permitted by the state law. State and local laws do not immunize businesses from requirements of federal law; however, current medical marijuana dispensaries face this same risk. Measure G would have specific implications for Malibu’s existing medical marijuana dispensaries. Existing dispensaries could deliver and sell recreational cannabis after obtaining a permit, which the City Manager would be required to issue. Measure G provides that a dispensary can retain its regulatory permit if it moves locations. A CUP may be required for any new location. The measure makes a few changes to the current regulations applicable to medical marijuana dispensaries. For example, it eliminates the current requirement to notify patrons verbally of certain rules, allowing notification by posted signs. It also prevents the City from revoking a CUP on the first violation of local law. Overall, Measure G imposes an equivalent level of restriction on the on-site sale of recreational cannabis as the City currently imposes on medical marijuana dispensaries. The proposed tax is a general tax which requires approval by a majority of the votes cast in the election. The revenue generated could be used for any municipal purpose. It is undetermined how much annual revenue the tax

M00005836ENG-1 LA 390-075 CITY ATTORNEY’S IMPARTIAL ANALYSIS OF MEASURE G (Continued) would produce; the City estimates it would be at least approximately $75,000. If the measure is adopted, it could only be amended or repealed by a majority of votes at an election. Measure G was placed on the ballot by initiative petition that was signed by a legally sufficient number of registered voters of the City of Malibu. To be adopted, Measure G must be approved by a simple majority the ballots cast in this election. A “yes” vote on Measure G favors the Measure. A “no” vote on Measure G opposes the Measure.

M00005836ENG-2 LA 390-076 ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE G Malibu wants a safe community while supporting compassionate care for our residents, including seniors, veterans and the disabled. Measure G will help keep our city safe from illegal black markets, toxic products and most importantly it would help the most vulnerable in our community access legal cannabis safely and discreetly. An overwhelming majority of Malibu voters voted for Proposition 64, which legalized cannabis for adult use. The will of the voters must be honored in our city. Measure G establishes safe and sensible regulations for the sale of adult use cannabis and delivery within our city and protects our residents and businesses by requiring lab tested and child proofed products to be sold. Cannabis has helped so many people in our community. Voting yes on Measure G will also help with the opioid crisis by providing our community with a natural and safe option. Malibu has allowed for two dispensaries, which must abide by strict regulations that help protect our city and keep our families safe. Measure G limits the number of dispensaries, creates jobs, provides for extensive safety plans and will fund critically necessary projects for public safety and community priorities through a general tax fund. Malibu residents, Veterans, seniors, disabled patients, City Council members, attorneys, doctors, parents, mothers and teachers support this measure. This initiative will protect our neighborhoods, help our citizens and invest in our city’s future.

M00005836ENG-7 LA 390-081 PROPOSED ORDINANCE OF MEASURE G (Continued) medical marijuana dispensary was first issued or applied for a Los Angeles County business license for medical marijuana dispensary prior to January 1, 2018. Medical marijuana dispensaries permitted to operate pursuant to Section 17.66.120 shall provide to the city clerk a request for a regulatory permit and proof of their eligibility for a regulatory permit. A Los Angeles County business license for medical marijuana dispensary issued prior to January 1, 2018 or an application for a Los Angeles County business license for medical marijuana dispensary submitted prior to January 1, 2018, and a city of Malibu conditional use permit for medical marijuana dispensary subject to Section 17.66.120 that was in effect on January 1, 2018 shall be prima facie evidence that a medical marijuana dispensary is qualified for a regulatory permit under this section. If a medical marijuana dispensary requesting a regulatory permit is no longer in possession of the location associated with the conditional use permit subject to Section 17.66.120, the city manager shall issue the regulatory permit to the medical marijuana dispensary in accordance with Subsection C and the dispensary may request a change of address pursuant to Section 5.55.070. The city manager shall notify a medical marijuana dispensary if its request for a regulatory permit is denied. The denial notification shall include and list the specific reason or reasons for denial, the factual findings supporting the denial, and the dispensary’s appeal rights. C. Within 10 days of the effective date of this ordinance, the city manager shall establish and begin to issue a regulatory permit for retailer-storefront commercial cannabis activity to the medical marijuana dispensaries entitled to a regulatory permit under this section. The regulatory permit for retailer-storefront commercial cannabis activity shall authorize the permitted medical marijuana dispensary to engage in retailer storefront commercial cannabis activity, including delivery, dispensing, and retail sales of cannabis, cannabis products, medical cannabis, and medical cannabis products. The regulatory permit shall clearly state that the Permittee is authorized to conduct retailer-storefront commercial cannabis activity for adult-use and medical purposes at the location authorized by the regulatory permit. For purposes of this chapter, “adult-use” shall mean retail sales of cannabis and cannabis products to natural persons age 21 and older. The city manager shall ensure the regulatory permit displays the information required for the issuance of a state license. Permittees that are eligible for a regulatory permit pursuant to this section shall not be required to apply for a regulatory permit as a new applicant pursuant to any regulatory scheme subsequently enacted by the city council. D. The city manager shall notify and identify to the State of California and its agencies that regulate commercial cannabis activity, including but not limited to the Bureau of Cannabis Control: (1) the Permittees the city has authorized to

M00005836ENG-8 LA 390-082 PROPOSED ORDINANCE OF MEASURE G (Continued) engage in retailer-storefront commercial cannabis activity pursuant to a regulatory permit issued under this chapter; (2) that the regulatory permit authorizes the Permittee for Type 9 or Type 10 state licenses under the Medical and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act. The notification shall include that a Permittee has been authorized for the issuance of an “A-license” and an “M-license.” The city manager shall provide to state regulators any information necessary to facilitate the issuance of a state license to a Permittee. The city clerk shall only authorize for a state license a retailer storefront and/or medical marijuana dispensary with a regulatory permit. A medical marijuana dispensary without a regulatory permit shall not be authorized for a state license. E. For purposes of this section, medical marijuana dispensaries permitted to operate pursuant to Section 17.66.120 as of January 1, 2018 may continue to engage in dispensing and retail sales of medical cannabis and medical cannabis products pursuant to an existing state license or temporary permit while a request for a regulatory permit is pending. However, medical marijuana dispensaries established after January 1, 2018 shall not operate without a regulatory permit. F. A person or entity operating a permitted medical marijuana dispensary permitted under Section 17.66.120 shall be entitled to a regulatory permit for retailer-storefront commercial cannabis activity as a matter of right. The issuance of a regulatory permit pursuant to this section shall be a ministerial action not subject to discretion. G. It is the intent of the voters to authorize for retailer-storefront commercial cannabis activity any medical marijuana dispensaries permitted to operate pursuant to Section 17.66.120 that were in operation as of January 1, 2018, the day on which the State of California began issuing licenses for commercial cannabis activity. This section and each subsection and paragraph shall be interpreted broadly to ensure any permitted medical marijuana dispensaries authorized to operate on January 1, 2018 are issued a regulatory permit under this section and authorized for retailer-storefront commercial cannabis activity. In authorizing the issuance of regulatory permits to dispensaries under this section, the voters recognize that medical marijuana dispensaries previously permitted under Section 17.66.120 have undergone extensive review, examination, and scrutiny in conditional use permit proceedings and the findings necessary to establish a medical marijuana dispensary have been made. The voters recognize it would be inefficient, duplicative, and inequitable to the businesses and their customers to subject already permitted medical marijuana dispensaries currently in operation to another proceeding to authorize retailer-storefront commercial cannabis activity at their current locations.

Nothing in this ordinance shall prohibit the city council from enacting a regulatory framework for retailer-storefront commercial cannabis activity for new applicants. I. The city council shall have jurisdiction to hear appeals of requests for regulatory permits. A medical marijuana dispensary shall have the right to appeal a denial of a request for regulatory permit to the city council. The request must be made within sixty (60) days after the date of the decision of the city manager by submitting a letter to the city council stating the reason for the appeal. The council shall fix a time and place for hearing such appeal, and the city clerk shall give notice in writing to such appellants at his or her last known place of address. The standard of review on all appeals shall be de novo review. The findings of the council shall be final and conclusive and shall be served upon the appellant by certified U.S. Mail and electronic mail. The city council shall review the appeal on a de novo basis. 5.55.060. Conditional Use Permit. A. Any medical marijuana dispensary previously issued a conditional use permit subject to 17.66.120 shall be permitted to operate a retailer-storefront under the conditions set forth in their conditional use permit except where any condition conflicts with Section 17.66.120, as amended by this ordinance. In the event any provision of the amended Section 17.66.120 conflicts with a condition on an existing conditional use permit previously issued pursuant to Section 17.66.120, the provision of the amended Section 17.66.120 shall be controlling. B. The purpose of this section is to authorize existing medical marijuana dispensaries permitted under Section 17.66.120 to engage in retailer-storefront commercial cannabis activity given that those permitted dispensaries have already been found to meet the criteria necessary to engage in medical marijuana dispensary activity in the city. The voters declare that the business operations and impacts of a medical marijuana dispensary and a commercial cannabis retailer-storefront are virtually identical and that the amendments to Section 17.66.120 are not major changes. The voters recognize it would be inefficient, duplicative, and inequitable to the businesses and their customers to subject permitted medical marijuana dispensaries currently in operation to a second conditional use permit proceeding to authorize retailer-storefront commercial cannabis activity. C. The city shall not enforce any conditions on a previously issued conditional-use permit that is contrary to this chapter or an express provision provided for in Section 17.66.120, as amended by this ordinance.

M00005836ENG-10 LA 390-084 PROPOSED ORDINANCE OF MEASURE G (Continued) D. The planning director may modify an existing conditional use permit to incorporate the amended standards set forth in Section 17.66.120. The incorporation of the standards set forth in Section 17.66.120 into an existing conditional use permit shall be deemed a minor change pursuant to Section 17.66.060.C. Nothing contained in this Subsection D shall be considered a significant change involving a major deviation from the original approval of the permit. 5.55.070. Change of Location. A. A regulatory permit for retailer-storefront commercial cannabis activity shall authorize retailer-storefront commercial cannabis activity only at the location associated with the regulatory permit. A Permittee may change the location associated with the regulatory permit for retailer-storefront commercial cannabis activity to a new location upon submission of a change of location application. B. Within 30 days of the effective date, the city manager shall adopt a process (to include any necessary forms and procedures) for the relocation of a retailer storefront and regulatory permit, including allowance for temporary business cessation incidental to a change in location. C. A Permittee may change the location of a retailer storefront and a regulatory permit to a location that has a pending application for a conditional use permit for activity pursuant to Section 17.66.120, but the Permittee shall not engage in any retailer-storefront commercial cannabis activity at the new location until after the conditional use permit for activity pursuant to Section 17.66.120 has been issued. D. The city manager shall not deny the renewal of a Permittee’s commercial cannabis regulatory permit for cessation of business operations while the Permittee is applying for a conditional use permit for activity pursuant to Section 17.66.120 at a new location. 5.55.080. Numerical Limit. No more than two Permittees shall be permitted to operate a retailer-storefront commercial cannabis business in the city at any time. For purposes of this section, the numerical limit is only intended to create a maximum number of two businesses that may be issued regulatory permits for retailer-storefront commercial cannabis activity. The city manager shall not issue additional regulatory permits if there are already two regulatory permits for retailer storefront commercial cannabis activity in the city. The city manager shall not accept applications for regulatory permits for retailer-storefront commercial cannabis activity from new applicants if the maximum number of regulatory

(Continued on next page)

M00005836ENG-11 LA 390-085 PROPOSED ORDINANCE OF MEASURE G (Continued) permits has been issued. This numerical limit shall not apply to the change in location of an existing regulatory permit where a Permittee applies for a change of location, in which case a new regulatory permit shall be issued to a Permittee contingent upon surrender of an existing regulatory permit. The numerical limit of two is consistent with Malibu’s historical policy of permitting two medical marijuana dispensaries to operate. 5.55.090. Regulatory Fees. Within 30 days, the city manager may establish a processing fee, a permit fee, and/or a renewal fee for regulatory permits for retailer-storefront commercial cannabis activity. The processing, permit, and/or renewal fee shall not exceed the fee to apply for a conditional use permit. 5.55.100. Renewal. A. The city manager shall develop and produce a renewal application for regulatory permits. An application for annual renewal of a commercial cannabis regulatory permit shall be filed with the city manager at least 30 calendar days prior to the expiration date of the current permit, on a form designated by the city manager. The city manager shall provide to the Permittee a copy of the application for renewal by certified mail at least 120 days, 90 days, and 30 days prior to the expiration date of the current regulatory permit. The Permittee shall be provided a 60-day grace period after the expiration date in which the Permittee may renew the regulatory permit. B. Any Permittee submitting an application less than 30 days before the expiration of a regulatory permit shall be required to pay a late renewal application fee, as established by the city council. The late fee shall not exceed 25% of the renewal fee. C. The Permittee shall include on the renewal application any information that has changed since the filing of the initial application or prior year’s renewal application, as applicable. D. The city manager shall automatically approve an application for renewal of a regulatory permit unless any of the following exists: 1. The commercial cannabis business has not been in regular and continuous operation in the six months prior to the renewal application and the Permittee has not applied for a conditional use permit for activity under Section 17.66.120 at a new location. 2. The Permittee has made a false, misleading or fraudulent statement or omission of fact in the renewal application.

M00005836ENG-12 LA 390-086 PROPOSED ORDINANCE OF MEASURE G (Continued) 3. The Permittee’s state license has been revoked for regulatory violations. E. Upon approval of an application for renewal of a regulatory permit for retailer-storefront commercial cannabis activity, the city manager shall issue to the Permittee a renewed regulatory permit for retailer storefront commercial cannabis activity. F. Permittees will be notified in writing of the decision to deny a renewal application. The denial notification shall include and list the specific reason or reasons for denial, the factual findings supporting the denial, and the Permittee’s appeal rights. G. The city council shall have jurisdiction to hear appeals of denials. Permittees shall have the right to appeal a denial of an application for renewal to the city council. The Permittee may appeal the decision on the application for renewal within sixty (60) days after the date of the decision of the city manager by submitting a letter to the city council stating the reason for the appeal. The council shall fix a time and place for hearing such appeal, and the city clerk shall give notice in writing to such Permittee at his or her last known place of address. The standard of review on all appeals shall be de novo review. The findings of the council shall be final and conclusive and shall be served upon the appellant by certified U.S. Mail and electronic mail. 5.55.110. Administrative Enforcement. A. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as prohibiting the city council from establishing an administrative enforcement framework to regulate Permittees that is consistent with the purposes of this chapter. 5.55.120. Reserved. 5.55.130. Cannabis tax A. Each Permittee that is engaged in the sale of cannabis and cannabis products is subject to and shall pay a tax in the amount of two and one half percent (2.5%) of the gross receipts or fractional part thereof on the sale of cannabis and cannabis products. This tax shall not apply to the sale of medical cannabis and medical cannabis products and to any state sales or excise tax collected by the Permittee. B. Such tax payments shall be made by the Permittee to the city manager no later than the last business day of March, June, September and December for gross receipt taxes incurred during the preceding three months. C. The Permittee shall submit a statement of the total amount of adult use retail sales of cannabis and cannabis products for the prior three months of

(Continued on next page)

M00005836ENG-13 LA 390-087 PROPOSED ORDINANCE OF MEASURE G (Continued) each quarter, to the city manager, on forms provided by the city manager. This total amount will not include any sales tax and state excise tax collected on those adult use retail sales of cannabis and cannabis products. D. Nothing shall prohibit the city from enacting regulations to administer and collect the tax. E. The proceeds from the cannabis tax shall be used for general city purposes. 5.55.140. Additional Operational Regulations. A. Nothing in this chapter shall prohibit the city council from adopting additional regulations for retailer-storefront commercial cannabis activity that are consistent with the Medical and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act and any regulations adopted thereto. However, the city shall not prohibit or effectively prohibit Permittees from operating a retailer-storefront. B. Nothing in this chapter shall prohibit the city council from adopting regulations for delivery consistent with Medical and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act and any regulations adopted thereto. However, the city shall not prohibit or effectively prohibit Permittees from making retail deliveries of cannabis and cannabis products. 5.55.150. Severability If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, portion, or phrase of this chapter is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of any court of any competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, portions, or phrases of this ordinance. The citizens of Malibu hereby declare that they would have passed this ordinance and each and every section, subsection, sentence, clause, portion, or phrase without regard to whether any other section, subsection, sentence, clause, portion, or phrase of this chapter would be subsequently declared invalid or unconstitutional. Section 2. Malibu Municipal Code Section 17.66.120 is hereby amended to read in its entirety: A. Location Criteria. A medical marijuana dispensary and/or a retailer-storefront engaged in commercial cannabis activity shall be located in compliance with the following requirements:

For purposes of determining compliance with paragraphs 1 through 3 of this subsection A, the date of determination for compliance for an existing medical marijuana dispensary permitted under Section 17.16.120 engaging in retailer/storefront activity at its original location shall be the date on which the conditional use permit under Section 17.66.120 was issued in the first instance. A previously issued conditional use permit subject to 17.66.120 shall be prima facie evidence that a medical marijuana dispensary and/or retailer storefront is in compliance with paragraphs 1 through 3 of this subsection A. Nothing contained in this subsection A shall prohibit the city from conducting inspections and other legally applicable actions to enforce the conditions in subsection B to which a medical marijuana dispensary and/or retailer-storefront is subject. B. Development and Performance Standards. The purpose of this Subsection B is to assure that the operations of medical marijuana dispensaries and/or retailer-storefronts are in compliance with California law and to mitigate the adverse secondary effects from operations of dispensaries and/or retailer-storefronts. Medical marijuana dispensaries and/or retailer-storefronts shall operate in compliance with the following standards:

C0001358705-ENG LA 390-096 Earthquake safety

Some rumblings on preparing for an EARTHQUAKE If you're like most people, after every California earthquake you tell yourself, "I'm going to get prepared for the next one." Then you don't do a thing about it. Well, now you can do something about it. Just by reading this page, doing what it says and saving it. Many earthquake experts in Southern California recommend the following tips to minimize damage in the event of an earthquake. 1. Put together a kit of basic emergency supplies. Include a portable radio, extra batteries, a first aid kit and handbook, wrenches to turn off gas and water valves, and food, water and medication for every member of your family for at least one week. 2. Secure your hot water heater. If your hot water heater falls over during an earthquake, the gas line can rupture and create sparks which can lead to a fire or explosion. 3. Know where your gas, electric and water main shutoffs are and how to shut them off. 4. Secure your tall and heavy furniture. Bookcases, entertainment centers and china cabinets can easily fall over during an earthquake. 5. Put some extra nails in heavy objects that are off the floor such as shelves, mirrors and large picture frames. 6. Hunt for hazard areas in your home. Teach your children to stay away from windows, mirrors and tall furniture. 7. Search for safe place in your home. Show your children how to take cover under a table, desk, or against inside walls. 8. Have a plan to reunite your family after an earthquake. Travel may be difficult and phone lines may be down, so don’t drive or call anyone unless it’s a real emergency. 9. Check for injury or damage after the shaking stops. 10. Above all, do not panic. Practicing earthquake drills with your entire family and being prepared with the above instructions will put you in a safer position during any ground motion. Stop rumbling about how you’re going to get ready for “the next one.” Prepare for it today. The County of Los Angeles has an Earthquake Survival Program (ESP) with easy monthly preparedness steps. For more information, call the Office of Emergency Management (323) 980-2260 or visit the ESP website at www.espfocus.org
